I am new on this site and my mother language is not english...
anyway
3 mounths ago , after sever headaches and vomiting my brother (25 years old) had an MRI in which it showed that he has a massive talamic tumor and they have to insrt a shunt urgently.
after the surgery he was recovering very fast but we had no idea about the type of the tumor , therefore he was send to an international center for brain deases in germany. There he had a biopsy and fortunatly the result showed that its a grade2 type and beigne.
The Professors declared that the location is unoperable and after lots of discussions they started chemotherapy with Temodal.
the doze of temodal taken is 210 mg which he has to take every 2 week ( one week on , one week off) for 8 weeks, last sunday was the last day of week 1, in which he had a high fever at night.
I have read about side-effects of this medicine but as my brother s having problem with his short memory and mental confusion( place, time and condition) specially after he wakes up , I want to know if it is normal or not ( he was very sharp before taking medicine).
he also have problem with his eyes and sees far thing double.
it would be very nice of you if you tell more about side-eefects of this medicine and how we can reduce it for example by nutrition.
thanks a lot
p.s: my brother is no longer in germany and have returened home ( in Iran)
